THE ONLY WAY TO RACIAL HEALING

The Only Way to Racial Healing

BEYOND FEAR BY AWAKENING LOVING-KINDNESS

Ron Alexander

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King knew “Only light can drive out darkness. Only love can drive out hate.”

 

Saint Francis of Assisi knew the only way:  “Where there is hatred, let me sow love.”

Aeesha and Kokomon  Clottey know this: In BEYOND FEAR, “…as we work with each principle of Attitudinal Healing and make it our own, we will truly experience that the essence of our being is love. This is what the work of racial healing brings to us—the center and core of our being.”(p.170)

Pema Chodron knows this: In AWAKENING, Chodron writes “In meditation”…”you would probably see that you do all those things for which you criticize all those people you don’t like in your life, all those people you judge. Basically, making friends with yourself is making friends with all those people too, because they come to have this kind of honesty, gentleness and goodheartedness, combined with clarity about yourself, there is no obstacle to feeling loving-kindness for others as well.”(p.5, 6)
